One of the most challenging aspects of opening a brewery is dealing with the large amount of initial capital required. It’s not uncommon to have expensive real estate and equipment sitting idle for months (or years) while waiting on federal, state, and local government approvals. Federal licenses require that property and equipment be secured prior to approval. State Licenses require a certificate of occupancy from the local jurisdiction! Appropriately sizing your brew house and cellar for your projected demand adds to the gamble.
Jonquil Brewing can help you reduce risk in both of those areas by providing our startup incubator equipment at a reasonable lease cost. Getting your initial approvals is a big challenge, but upgrading equipment later is virtually a nonevent and does not require any subsequent approvals. Why not defer those capital costs until you are up and running and seeing positive cash flow? Or maybe you are already planning to start off small and your business plan is to upgrade to in future years. Regardless, leasing equipment in the early years, can greatly reduce costs.
JBC can provide you a steam jacketed 4 BBL brewhouse and related peripherals for your startup at a fraction of the cost it would take to purchase. Call us to discuss your specific needs and equipment availability.
